I can't get sup to replace an alias with its email address when I send
To: an alias. This is really confusing.
Thanks.

This should happen automagically, if you enter the alias either when
Sup prompts you, or if it's on a To/Cc/Bcc line when you exit the editor
and return to Sup.
Are you sure you're typing in the right alias?

Testing it out, it seems to be a casing issue. When the alias I
choose is all lowercase, it works. Looks like when sup throws me into
my editor to compose the email, it lower cases the entire alias. Then
when it comes back out, it can't match the lower cased alias if the
alias had upper case letters.

We shouldn't downcase names before we look them up in the alias to
person hash since the keys of that hash are case sensitive. This
brings up a more philosophical question of whether keys in that hash
SHOULD be case sensitive. What does it mean to have two aliases
"Steve" and "steve"?
